Winchester SXP Defender Pump Action 20 Gauge Matte Black Shotgun

The Winchester SXP Defender is a compact 20 Gauge pump-action shotgun designed for dependable handling in defensive applications, training, and multi-gun competition. Its 18-inch fully chrome-plated barrel uses a fixed cylinder bore for broad shot patterns and practical compatibility with buckshot and Foster-type rifled slugs. The durable composite stock and deeply grooved forearm provide a secure, steady grip, while the non-glare matte black finish helps reduce surface reflection. A five-round tubular magazine and one chambered round provide a 5+1 capacity.
